"What about the current formation of the fire support battalion?"

The battalion-level troops for combat have been formed, and the battalion-level troops that serve as fire support cannot be missing.

Among them, the fire support battalion is very important, and it is used to carry out fire strikes against the enemy before the infantry fight.

Zhao Long Lizheng replied: "It is expected that the formation will be completed tomorrow, the fire support battalion has been organized into two hundred people, there are still one hundred and forty-two people left, twenty-four trucks towing the 155 howitzers of the fire support battalion, and another twenty-four ammunition trucks, all of which have been installed, and the battalion has a total of 20 155 mm howitzers, and it is planned to organize three artillery companies plus a battalion headquarters company as a warning force, as well as supporting engineer platoons and artillery drone squads. ”

Since the troops do not yet have an air force capable of providing support, the number of fire support battalions has been specially increased.

Fortunately, at present, the troops do not need to conduct long-distance operations, and there will be no problems with such an organizational structure.

And as the main equipment of the fire support battalion, the so-called Type 20 155mm howitzer, has long been in actual combat in the wasteland world.

Artillery is also the only equipment that can carry out long-distance fire projection in the Red Guard Corps, except for rocket artillery units.

Of course, it is impossible for the huge base to have only this type of artillery, there are also many small-caliber guns, and of course, heavy guns with a caliber of up to 203 mm.

The barrel of this large-caliber heavy gun has a long and long range, enough to hit almost sixty kilometers. If you launch a rocket range extender projectile, you will have no problem hitting a hundred kilometers, but of course the hit rate will not be very good.

And under this large-caliber heavy artillery, there is a smaller 175 mm heavy gun, but these two guns are too heavy. And in terms of actual combat value, it is not necessarily higher than that of a 155-mm gun.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen chose 155 mm artillery, and also planned to form some artillery companies for light infantry in the future, equipped with 105 mm guns.

At present, as long as the fire support battalion is formed, it will be able to quickly bring into play its combat effectiveness.

It only needs to be placed in the middle of the town of Marin and Samarra to hit the enemies in Samarra.

And the value of a weapon is not mainly based on whether it is advanced or not. Rather, it depends on whether it is suitable for the needs of the battlefield.

Unfortunately, there are no self-propelled guns at the base, otherwise Cai Ruichen would not have chosen these towed howitzers.

After all, compared to those self-propelled guns, this kind of towed artillery is also very troublesome to use.

"According to the original plan, a combat brigade will be formed in a month, and at the moment, it seems, are there any difficulties?" Cai Ruichen asked.

"As long as the soldiers can be gathered. Then there is the question of equipment, there is no problem with guns and ammunition, trucks, as well as heavy weapons and individual firepower. However, so far, the unit has received only three Warrior assault vehicles, and according to the plan formulated, once the combat brigade is formed, it will need at least 420 Warrior assault vehicles for infantry use. Zhao Long said.

"There are no problems with the Warrior assault vehicle, mass production has already begun. It will also be delivered to the troops on time after a month. Cai Ruichen said.

The Warrior assault vehicle, in fact, is a light armored combat vehicle with four wheels, somewhat similar to the American armored Humvee.

This weapon was naturally a product of the arrival at the base, and after his clearance was upgraded to Primary, it appeared on the production list of the Junior Arsenal.

The total combat weight of this assault vehicle is almost ten tons. Heavy armor enveloped the whole car, bulletproof windows could not be raised, and on the back seat of the car, there was a small machine-gun turret.

On the turret of the machine gun, any machine gun can be added, and the most powerful of which is the scaled-down version of the Getter cannon.

Of course, anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles can also be added for anti-aircraft and anti-armor operations.

Each assault vehicle can carry five people, and there is a small compartment in the back for infantry combat equipment and medical supplies, and if necessary, it can also be used to transport the wounded to evacuate the battlefield.

One such assault vehicle costs five thousand dollars, which also includes a weapon system, and of course ammunition is provided separately.

In terms of protection, due to the focus on rapid assault, the body defense can barely defend against some less lethal rocket launchers, and can resist the fire of heavy machine guns.

The appearance of this weapon will become an important equipment for the infantry of the Red Guard Corps.

At present, since there is no land combat equipment such as armored vehicles and tanks, this vehicle can only be used as a platform for soldiers to fight.

However, compared to most of the armed forces in Iraq, this assault vehicle is already very strong.

At least compared to the most advanced armored Humvee of the US military, it is not weak at all, not to mention that it can also be loaded with anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, which is more versatile.

And not like the Humvee of the American army, it can only be equipped with machine guns.

For the construction of the army, it is a top priority, and Cai Ruichen is not the kind of person who regards equipment as heavier than life.

For a long time, in Cai Ruichen's mind, the life of every Red Police soldier is incomparably precious.

If there is equipment that can improve their chances of survival on the battlefield, then no matter how expensive it is, he will not hesitate to produce it and give it to the soldiers to use.

In the future, as the power expands, the threat of war will also be greater, and it is necessary to build a strong army.

But sometimes no matter how good the weapons and equipment are, they need better soldiers to use them.

This is also something that Cai Ruichen is very happy about, otherwise it would be too difficult to cultivate a modern army from scratch.

Especially when the enemy is around, he also does not have time to develop an elite unit from scratch.

Every soldier of the Red Police Corps is a born soldier, and he does not need to be educated and trained.

But it is precisely because of this that Cai Ruichen cherishes these soldiers even more, and in his mind, there is no difference between these people and his relatives.

It's just that there are no undead on the battlefield, and the defensive battle of the wasteland, under the absolute advantage of firepower, has more than two hundred dead, and it is still facing a group of very primitive enemies.

In the present world, the Red Police Corps is not facing mutants who can only use brute force as weapons, but a group of soldiers who also have professional military training and a sound command mechanism, not just mutants with a little intelligence.

Therefore, for the upcoming large-scale actual battle, it is planned to invest 3,000 regular troops to participate in the war, Cai Ruichen is inevitably a little uneasy in his heart.

After all, this will also be a real foreign operation of the Red Guard Corps, and it may be a long-term operation, which is not at all comparable to the battle in Marin Town. (To be continued......)
